Emerging evidence suggests that microbial exposure of the bovine fetus may begin before birth. Here, we evaluated the microbiota in bovine fetuses at day 250 of gestation and their respective dams at the time of fetal harvest, and whether these microbial communities differed in response to maternal vitamin and minera...

Bulls represent a significant financial investment in beef cattle operations with their reproductive success being fundamental to herd productivity. Over a three-year study, yearling MARC II bulls [n = 114; 292 ± 30 d of age; BW = 347.64 ± 2.38 kg] were used to determine whether bull rate of gain prior to breeding al...

Estrogens regulate key processes in parturition, yet the specific effects of estradiol (E2) on maternal reproductive tissues in sheep remain unclear. This study investigated the impact of exogenous E2, mimicking physiological prepartum levels, on gene expression in the myometrium, endometrium, cervix, and placental mem...

Periods of inadequate maternal nutrition during pregnancy and nutritional imbalances during critical windows of fetal development can have lasting consequences on offspring growth, metabolism, and performance. These effects are largely mediated through epigenetic mechanisms. Among them, small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs...
